Hopefully you backed up your previous ROM, just flash that or select one of the many ROM's available that are based on 2.1 and flash that.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IOInterrupt:
Ondemand just won't get you the numbers you are looking for. The scaling varies each time you do something and the scaling times will vary depending on your use just before you initiate a task. That tiny bit of extra time will hurt the numbers in the end.

Using SetCPu at 998mhz on performance scaling will get your better fps2d numbers than 1113mhz ondemand will. That doesn't necessarily mean that 998mhz is faster, but the edge in the beginning of the benchmark will result in higher overall averages within a short benchmark.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -shift-:
ok.. i did this:

setcpu

max = 998mhz (performance)

min = 460mhz

fps2d

avg = 53fps; stdev = 4.14

avg = 52fps; stdev = 4.41

avg = 53fps; stdev = 3.51

linpack

37.078; 40.099; 38.667; 38.945; 39.227; 37.593; 38.667; 40.398...

now i changed setcpu to ondemand with same max/min frequencies

fps2d

avg = 52fps; stdev = 6.51

avg = 52fps; stdev = 5.42

avg = 51fps; stdev = 6.49

linpack

38.122; 38.945; 39.153; 38.122; 36.825; 38.392; 38.945; 36.825...

i added linpack to compare to my previous numbers, which were ranging from 38-45, mostly in the low 40s. what did you get?

how would putting 998mhz on performance scaling affect battery life though? it has taken a bit of a hit with cm6, but i'm guessing that there's still some optimization that needs to be done.

Well I may get a slightly higher fps than you, but you get a consistently higher linpack score than me. I ran linpack 10 times and only hit 37 twice. Now you got me thinking there is something wrong with mine.

Running performance scaling will hurt you battery wise. I was just saying to get optimal benchmarks to use it temporarily. Definitely switch back to ondemand for every day use.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Just wanted to add in here.. This worked great for me.

A little something different, that I wasn't sure would work, but I tried anyway:

1. I used Root Explorer to push the .xml file to the right folder.

2. Once the file was there, I went into the apps and oped "Terminal Emulator".

3. When Terminal Emulator opened, it showed a Black screen with $. I typed su and got the #

4. I typed the rm line of code then the exit line (making sure to hit enter or return after each).

5. The adb reboot DOES NOT work from here, so I exited out of Terminal Emulator and rebooted the phone manually.

MMS works perfect...

Thanks to timothydonohue for the code, and the many other members here who have given me the guts to attempt this. lol

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WillJitsu:
Mine is doing the same thing. This is how incoming MMS messages worked on SenseUI. Anyone know if this is due to the modified file we are sending to the phone to get it to work? Hopefully we can eventually view incoming MMS messages like a normal picture rather than a slideshow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail78:
instead of doing all of that just go to that folder, hold down and press delete.. you can do everything just by pressing the mount r/w.. no need for terminal at all, root explorer does it all!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
I think this is more carrier specific than anything. I had the same results when getting MMS from other carriers before with 2.1, with my Blackberry before the EVO and the phone I had before that as well. It MAY be something that the Developers can find a patch for, but I think it is on Sprint's end, not the phone/ROM.

then

adb shell

rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony

unlike some...cyanogen doesn't have several pages of posts here, lol. should make it easy

and the com.providers.telephony thing IS a folder, which is why you have to include the -rf tag in it. otherwise you'd have to go through and remove all the subfolders/files individually.
